The Carrol J. Riley-DeGier Fund at the La Crosse Community Foundation was established to honor the memory of Carrol J. Riley-DeGier, a passionate advocate for animal rescue. This permanent endowment fund provides vital support to Tabby Town, USA, a dedicated group of volunteers who foster cats in their homes, rescuing orphaned kittens, special needs cats, and those facing neglect or abuse. Carrol's unwavering commitment to animal welfare is reflected in the fund's logo, which symbolizes a helping hand, a solid foundation, and a safe haven. The logo also features three real-life rescues, Bonnie, Clyde, and Cassy, who overcame immense challenges with the love and care provided by Carrol and her team. Through the Carrol J. Riley-DeGier Fund, Carrol's legacy lives on, ensuring that the work she cherished continues to make a difference in the lives of cats in need.Generated from the website
